Richmond, Va. 



RICHMOND, VA. 

EACH of her seven hills is a jewel to sparkle throughout the earth, 
each of her valleys a setting to command universal admiration. 
Her suburbs are the finest plush that ever surrounded and beauti- 
fied a beautiful ornament and she justly occupies a distinctive and 
enviable position in the jewelry box of nature. 



The most attractive and interesting place in Richmond is Rich- 
mond. This the traveler will find true after visiting the Capital of the 
Old Dominion and feast- 
ing on the banquet of 
beautiful and historic 
places of interest and en- 
joying the home-like air 
which pervades this 
ancient but youthful city. 

To pick out for the 
reader the most popular 
tiling about Richmond is 
to undertake a hopeless 
task, for she abounds in 
things pleasant and inter- 
esting to a degree enjoyed 
by no other city in this 
count ry. 

A- the first half of her 
name implies, Richmond 
is wealthy, and her wealth consists not only in financial assets but in 
a mint of superior advantages as a manufacturing and commercial 
center and a beautiful home city. 

Within the last few years this metropolis of the State has made 
extraordinary advances along :ill lines. Within the last forty-three 
years she has accomplished a marvelous metamorphosis, which trans- 




WII.I.I AM BYRD, 
Founder of Richmond. 



forms her from a crushed, devastated and demoralized rendezvous of re- 
fugees and fanatics to one of the foremost municipalities of the United 
States. 

The next decade will record still greater achievements, for Rich- 
mond is enjoying a rapid, steady and logical growth and improvement, 
the natural development of her superb resources. 

In the midst of this great progressive era, the many historical 
features of the Capital stand out in attractive contrast and add to the 
general interest. 

The following pages will he found to contain illustrations of all the 
principal points of interest in Richmond and it is the hope of the pub- 
lishers that the book will prove both interesting and instructive to 
every reader. Never before has such a complete list of views of the 
Capital of the Old Dominion been published in this style. 

Incidently, for the reader's reference, the following brief data are 
added: 

Richmond is situated about 94 miles from the Atlantic ocean; 557 
miles from Boston; 345 from New York; 741 from Jacksonville, Fla.; 
3,175 from San Francisco. 

In 1609 Richmond was settled, within two years after the founding 
of the first English settlement — Jamestown. Its population now is 
a little over 112,000, not counting that of it suburbs, which firings the 
total up to about 130,000.
